AN IOT APPLICATION AREA: SMART CITIES 95-733 INTERNET OF THINGS
Smart cities is about more than technology. Must often include partnering with government agencies. SMART CITIES In general, the goal of smart cities is to improve the quality of life of its citizens. In many cities, populations are increasing, weather events are more severe, and infrastructure is aging.
SMART CITY APPLICATION : TRANSPORTATION Goal: Reduce traffic congestion and improve air quality Consider EZPass adopted by several states Sensors may be placed in roads Cameras installed in traffic lights may be used as sensors Dashboard cameras mounted in garbage trucks monitor road conditions (initiating early repair) Monitor the traffic with intelligent traffic lights (counting cars passing and regulate light signaling) May involve lights working independently or in collaboration with each other Metro 21 at CMU reduced congestion by 26% and improved air quality by %34.
SMART CITY APPLICATION: HUMAN SERVICES Calls for help (disabled people, people who are sick) The data for each call is logged in a database Decision support systems may utilize these data for improved decision making For example, based on the call, prescription information might be made available to first responders
SMART CITY APPLICATIONS : SAFETY Data from shot sensing technology Data from 9-11 calls Police force deployment strategies in traditional hotspots Police force deployment strategies in temporary hotspots Locations can be targeted rather than individuals
SMART CITY APPLICATIONS : CONSERVATION An example from IBM A city wide application Water conservation needs the smart sprinkler to be connected as well as smart.
SMART CITY APPLICATIONS : CONSERVATION Govt. regulations Sensor reading water level Weather API Rasberry Pi Running Edgent Sprinkler controller 95-733 INTERNET TECHNOLOGIES IBM Watson-IoT (MQTT) Streaming analytics 7 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rvc1CqNJkOA&feature=youtu.be&list=PLhZR82i0P9NqrksME13f2t8tDMIhxUtCH
